4000 rounds-per-minute does not equate to 4000 revolutions-per-minute of the barrel assembly. With six barrels, you would get 6 rounds per revolution, so the barrel assembly needs to turn only (4000/6) revs-per-minute, or 666.66 revs-per-minute. Still fast, but not 4000.
Uh...What? Try 666 rpm, Not 20.
Rounds and revolutions means the same thing when it comes to how fast it spins, they're talking about the rotation of the barrel, what you're talking about is how many rounds the gun can fire each minute.
@@austindang8389 r u dumb? there is 6 rounds on one revolution, the barrels does not spin 4000rpm as they said in the video, that would be 24000 rounds per minute. It SHOOTS 4000 rounds per minute while the barrels are spinning at 666rpm
@@KalLanPIDT For one this was 6 months ago, I don't really care anymore. And second you should learn how to read when it comes to context. As I clearly stated "Rounds and revolutions means the same thing when it comes to how fast it spins" 4000 rpm translates to 4000 rounds per minute buddy. It depends on what you are talking about and I clearly stated what my point was. 4000 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION PER MINUTE is different from ROUNDS PER MINUTE counting revolutions. But when it comes to revolutions compared to rounds per minute when we talk about spin, it's the same.
@@KalLanPIDT And for the record, the rate of which the barrel spins (rpm) would be the same as the rate of fire (rounds fired per minute). One revolution would be one round travel made by one specific barrel, and everytime that barrel makes one revolution, one round is fired.
Nice! imagine someone building an improvised copies of a minigun in their shed they be legendary.
if I can find receiver prints I will be
Load me
Hm
Any civilian can buy one that was made before 86'.
@@harryfarmer3847 ooo yea definitely a lot of $$$
I worked with a GE Rep from Burlington, VT on the 20mm version called the Vulcan. He spoke of setting the world record rounds per minute rate of fire with the mini gun, and the only way they could increase the rate of fire beyond a certain point was to shorten the barrels so that a round cleared the muzzle before that barrel came around and fired again. Real cool stuff to talk and think about. FYI the 20mm fires electrically, when rotated to a certain point the circuit is closed and bang...or should I say boom. In full on firing mode what a hellacious growl.
Doesnt the round clear the muzzle before the barrel comes around and fires again already
How badass it is to say you’re a mini gun expert.
Your profile picture
Lol
It took me a while but i finally understood how this fine complicated piece of machinery works
What amaze me is the making of the parts
well i have learned a lot about these guns from this video. Thanks!
Who touched sasha? WHO TOUCHED MY GUN!!!
To this day, nobody knows who touched heavy's gun.
@William Lacy *WHOOO-PEEE DOOOO!*
Hope you can go for the deeper engineering aspects of this. The materials being used and the principles behind it.
materials seems like steel based aloys
I dont think thats enough fire power to protect me while i get a loaf of bread
where can I get a Blueprint of this lovely piece of art?
It’s in the files👌
You unlock it after level 10
Gunbroker, perfectly legal to buy and own the blueprints
good information. Thanks a lot.
Can I see how to disassemble bolt, please..
Great video. Thank you for sharing this. I'm currently looking for a M134 made before 1986, that I can legally own as a civilian.
Hope you have 100 to 215 thousand dollars hell even a MG42 is 50,000 grand , yes iv looked into them years ago
@@jonalarcon8564 ones on gunbroker 230k right now.
so good thanks dear
are plans available for people to build these at home or do i just have to do trial and error?
My dream gun
Sweet
Cyclic rate = Rotation (rpm) x #barrels.
RPM = cyclic rate ÷ #barrels
I like how you could probably carry this around, ammo and all, but it was built just the right way that you can't fire while doing so.
This place used to be a movie theater I went to regularly
It was originally designed for reconnaissance-by-fire by door gunners on board blackhawk and CH-46 helicopters
IIRC it was first used in vietnam by gun crews operating C-47 transports that had been redesigned to offer close fire support! They had three of them mounted in the side and had to be flown at a bank in order to bring the guns to bear! It was actually designed as a downsized version of the M61 20mm commonly found on jets and AA vehicles, and was meant to replace single barreled machine guns!
How long will this gun shoot before the barrels start to melt? Like continuous shooting
Don't know about barrels but motor is rated for 50% duty at 30 second intervals.
You have fire rate of 667 rpm for each barrel. Thick machinegun barrels can run through about 1500 without greater damage. So I think the answer is at least 3 to 4 minutes.
Food for thought: minuguns used in aircrafts run slightly more cooler due to high altitude and low pressure, and the winds help cool it faster
Like an open-bolt gun in that the firing pin surfacing is directly due to the bolt travelling forward.
You can run it with a modified Dayton brand motor which costs a few hundred bucks and needs about $500 worth of labor to mod it. Source-> the real minigun used in Terminator 2 was operated with that exact thing. Same base gun was used in Predator but it had a motor similar to this video but for some reason they swapped it for Terminator2
how often does it get maintained? whats the interval for repair and service?
Oh Kris you have came so far from when we were shooting AR's in your back yard and our pistols in your pond lol.
What's about the Bearings?? Bcoz the bearing is the one gonna take the high recoiling thrust or force... After how many rounds the bearing need to be replaced?? And how many amps is needed to drive that motor? Is it a permanent magnet motor?
the besarings dont take the recoil. the bolts rotate and lock onto the barrel like a cap on a bottle. the front part of the two part bolt is what takes the recoil.
minigun goes BANG BANG
Building out a Toyota pickup and looking for "truck gun" ideas. I'll take notes.
"send some freedom down-range" lol
After the Arnold Schwarzenegger Predator movie just today the mystery is solved. How this bad boy works. Thank you for this video.
M134 gatling gun's in al barsha 3
Does it cost 400,000 dollars to fire for twelve seconds?
Nice DIY
If one bolt assembly is broken ,can the other 5 continue firing ?
👍
Use polon in medal but it's original use in mint
Imagine having that feed system for each Barrel, then every barrel fires as they turn! You'd have 36 reciprocating bolts!
.....if you have the feed system on every barrel, you dont have to rotate the barrels....
got that minnkota trolling motor plug for the drive motor I see.
Just curious with the hammering part at 17:49, considering the casing weighing significantly less than the inner structure, would it have made more sense to tap around the front edges of the housing in order to get it off?
The housing is the ultra rare part that makes it a gun, as it is the registered part. I think Chris would bash your head in with the delinker before he would let you touch the housing with a hammer.
Yeah, don't try to remove the rotor without removing the feed ramp first.
man i wish he would go more in depth about the delinker and how it works
The delinker works like a mini minigun. See how it also has a helical cam track. The cartridges are pushed through the links like a single-bolt machinegun, except there's 7 small bolts running in the track. The cartridges are pushed into a rotor (visible) which moves them to the feed guide plate.
Who touched sasha?
WHO TOUCHED MY GUN!?
It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon
*for twelve seconds*

@@_mrtakethatrisk mmm, bologna is porfect fuel for KEELING YOUU!
Damn, I’m gonna need a mechanical engineering degree to disassembly one of these for a living! 😅

Dillon up graded this weapon platform years ago
Ótimo projeto que projetei. Brasil terra dos inventores. Santos Dumont.
I’m a little surprised there’s not an entire set of wrenches, hidden inside that massive watch
4000 rounds a minute divided by 6 barrels equals 750 rpm
this man pulls out pins like a grenade in ww2
I wish to fire the gun myself one day and then learning it's complete engineering so I will make a personal minigun for myself.
Lol i hope you're joking, because that would be a recipe for a disaster.. Miniguns cost hundreds of thousands for a reason. One little mismatch and the whole thing could explode.
@@twentytwo138 no i not joking.
@@kaifrahman2703 My friend, please check out this video Kentucky Ballistics - 50 caliber exploded th-cam.com/video/1449kJKxlMQ/w-d-xo.html
In this video the problem was the hot round, but the same thing can happen with malfunctioning guns that are not properly designed. Besides, it's surely illegal to build a gun.
@@twentytwo138 relax dude, it's illegal in my country too. I was just playing with u.
@@kaifrahman2703 I thought so, but just in case, you never know.. There are many crazy and stupid people in the world haha
It costs 400k dollars to shoot this weapon for 12 seconds
Heavy from tf2
So if I play this in reverse I can build it nice!
Wouldn't 4000 rounds a minute divided by 6 barrels be (rounded up) 667 revolutions a minute?
THE MINIGUN
Mini gun be Gatling gun who will win
A cheap car starter should work
Let’s bash on the rotor with the guide bar still installed.... nice. No tutorial on the “most important” part of the gun the delinker and 90% or better of those parts aren’t even G.E. They where made by General Dynamic. 05606. That motor is the slowest motor made, made for the cobra gunship, hence the drum drive on the back and the beat up rewire job. Put an early G.E. Motor on it and get 6500 rpm. Gun has been tested up to 7200rpm. Last thing.... that guns designation is Gau-2b/a, it is not an M134. To bad the housing was a bad reweld, you could actually see the hole cam path was ground on to fix it.....
AdrenalineReaper where did you learn so much about the minigun from?
Jaime Gonzalez, I own one.
AdrenalineReaper DUDe that's fucking cool
I was hoping someone else would notice the guide bar lol
You seem to know your stuff. I'm curious to know if u know how many parts it takes to assemble a 134. Also the cost to produce. Txt me back I would like to discuss.
I remember learning how to take one apart and clean it. Everyone wants to shoot it, no one wants to clean it. This dude does it differently than the military teaches us. His way takes too long imo.
He's also SUPER clumsy and rushed. Trying hard to do things fast is not cool-looking. And, you would think a prodessional would have a bench setup for disassembling a six-figure, high-precision, high-speed electromechanical assembly. Nope, lets just throw it around, and drop it on the rotor when the last screw comes out.
Somebody get that man a brass hammer plz
7:15 Ah! I see they're clearly american
Lol It's been one year and it's still cracked me up
Wrong. Not spinning 4000 revolutions per min. Its 4000÷6. Its shooting 4000rpm cyclical rate. But with 6 barrells its divided to get actual rpm. So not quite 1000 rpm. Its actually 666.666 revs per minute...
My guy, GENERAL ELECTRIC built the first mini gun??
Neverunder estimate ur ppl
you mean 666 revelutions per minute. 6 barrels 4000 rounds per minute so 1 revolution is 6 barrels fiered. thats means 4000 divided by 6 = 666.6666667 not 4000 revolutions per minute. that would be 24,000 rounds a minute thats mad crazy
7:48 i still don't get it, it twists and click making the striker ready then it releases to hit the primer, ok, but how is that eletronic firing?!
To be honest i didn't understand anything about the firing pin, how the twist locks it and shit, this part been driving me nuts, and i want to understand!
Just had to laugh it doesn't spend 4000 RPM it doesn't fire one round every Revolution. If it had four barrels it would rotate a thousand times. 6000 rounds per minute 6 barrels 1000 RPM which is really fast more than 15 times per second. 6000 rounds 100 rounds per second that's getting it
5-8k for a motor!?!? Lol just take the starter off of your old Chevy....

Why is this called minigun when its not even mini?😬😬😠
It's the miniature version of the GAU-8. If you don't think that it's mini, go look at how big the GAU-8 is lol.
It is a 7.62mm miniature version of an aircraft-mounted 20mm or 30mm rotary cannon
Khalistan zindabaad,
Nobody needs that
Except for our masters, of course.
Lol sorry mate but i would'nt let you work on a water pistol let alone a real gun. You used a hamer! And adjustable spanner! Guess we now the us military know the basics of how to fuck something up.
So much blah blah about maintenance but not actual performance...
Feed polar bear blue berries they puke on green ground and create new flower pods with acidic acid that grows in green ground I think 🥸🧠
